Despite Hillsborough being 4 years before I was born being a Liverpool supporter means that it lives through us all. I can't pretend to know how those who experienced the disaster felt but when you invest in Liverpool you invest in the memory of the fallen fans who give so much to the passion we have on the pitch and as fans.
On this day, the 25th anniversary of the disaster, you will see many people talking of Justice for the '96. Despite the 25 years and countless inquiries there are questions that are still left unanswered and that is why it still lives on so fiercely. We are all now dreaming that this years memorial to those '96 in the sky is a title, lifted by a captain who was so overwhelmed by a win against Man City - which merely guides us to the title rather than ensures it - let his tears flow.
I want to add my voice, to the incredible work the Justice campaigns have done these past 25 years. I am only one in millions who sing "You'll never walk alone" and only one of millions whose thoughts are with those '96 today but I hope that I capture, in some way, the way we feel for our club and our fans in the sky.
Justice for the '96
The 15th of April, 1989.
25 years today.
We remember the '96 in the sky,
Our wounds still open despite the time.
We have asked for justice,
And still we wait.
Enquiries and inquests slowly make their way,
But it wasn't 'til 2004 we got an apology, piss!
Even now we are left in shadow,
But because the darkness now has light.
Hope, love and passion makes us strong,
And strong we shall stay as we follow.
Liverpool top of the table,
Our fate in our hands.
We shall never forget and always remember,
As we dream of glory from our cradle;
Anfield. A home for all,
Where the '96 are eternal, immortal,
And live on in the strength of us.
So stay together friends and stand tall.
YNWA.
